puses. With the collaboration of the USC administrators,

librarians and contractors on matters creative, financial,

and structural, the Learning Resource Center is a state-of–

the-art facility. The Learning Resource Center carries the

important principles of library building design; thus, when

it is completed, it will be a definite landmark in green ar-

chitecture design. It promises to be a model for students

and practitioners to study and marvel.

After the groundbreaking ceremony for the

Learning Resource Center last December 8, 2009,

construction started in November 2010. Architects

set November 2011 as the target date to finish the

building. By early 2012, libraries and offices can

transfer there namely, Engineering, Filipiniana,

CAFA, Health Sciences, Arts, Science, Serials, and

General Reference libraries, KDC, Cataloging, and

DOL’s office. Commerce Library and Law Library

will remain at Main Campus and Basic Education

libraries will stay in both the North and South cam-

The Library System strengthened librarians’ professional skills by conducting an in-service training on Basic Preservation and Access to Information last August 1, 2011, 1:00 pm at Buttenbruch Hall. This was attended by 27 librarians including Director of Libraries Mrs. Maxie Doreen Leva Cabarron who gave the rationale of the activity. This activity was aimed to enhance librarians/information specialists’ knowledge on the importance of preserving library materials and widening their horizon in giving assistance to library customers with the use of technology for information ac-cess.

Cebuano Studies Center (CSC) Librarian Mrs. Mary Allen Mae Oral shared her expertise in Preserving Library Resources: Its Importance and Concerns. Likewise, the librarians/information specialists increased their level of expertise in accessing informa-tion with the lecture demo on Academic OneFile: An Online Data-base. This second topic was administered by CE Logic Solution Senior Sales Manager, Mr. Isidro Padpad.

The activity was fruitful based on feedback during the open forum as well as in the shared learning insights by some of our colleagues. The USC Library System was blessed indeed for having such professional enhancement activity. As the Director of Libraries said, ―this is just but the first among the library activities in store for the librarians/information specialists.“

Library In-Service Trainings

Mrs. Allen Mae Oral and Mr. Sid Padpad with USC Librarians

In-service training on Professionalism and Exploring Excel was the second installment of the USC library’s in-service trainings held at Room 316, USC Main Campus on August 23, 2010. This in-service train-ing aimed to enhance the skill and knowledge on using Microsoft Excel and application in librarian’s daily work and to refresh the memory on how to be a ―professional librarian.‖ The training was divided into two portions. The first was Exploring Excel facilitated by Mr. Gary Lee Leva, HR Manager of Surigaonon Rural Banking Corporation (SRBC) in Surigao City. He gave tips on short cuts and how to manipulate the Excel worksheet effectively and efficiently. The second portion was the sharing of Miss Nelia Burdeos thesis output and incorporating the Professionalism of Librarians. She shared the result of her thesis about the academic status of the USC Librarians and the USC Administrations’ expectations from the librarians. She also integrated in her talk the aligning of personal values and the core values of the University to avoid values conflict.

Response of the Library Staff about the training was rewarding since they requested for another training with Mr. Leva on Microsoft Excel. They perceived that they need to know more in order to use the application efficiently. Moreover, Miss Burdeos’ talk made the Library Staff internally assess themselves what kind of workers they are and how to improve themselves.

Kudos to the organizers and more in-service trainings to come!

NC Library Overextends Service

In the spirit of solidarity with the academic community of the North Campus Basic Education Department, the library voluntarily put up a classroom in one of the corners of the library. The USC administration was supposed to construct a new building to replace the old building for kindergarten in August 2011. In four days’ time, a tempo-rary classroom rose up inside the library to house a grade school graduating class. When the new building on the eastern side will have been built within the school year, the temporary classroom will be dismantled as soon as possible.

The library, with a tad of inconvenience, continues to render fully the services of library orientation and instruction, circulation, answering reference questions, cataloguing, indexing, putting up bulletin boards, print-ing, and providing online services. Teachers also use the library for new technology applications in teaching such as projection and viewing.

Book Rewards Earned by NC Library

Seven thousand pesos (Php7,000) worth of books or thirty-three (33) volumes were awarded to the North Campus Library for hosting a book fair from July 11-15, 2011. These were bestsellers for children and young adults and a sprinkling of science books. Classes with many buyers also earned give-away items for their pupils and books which will become part of their classroom library collection.

Book fairs in schools give pupils and teachers alike a chance to browse over the latest published books and select for themselves the books they like. They can also recommend for purchase those books which they think the library should acquire for its readers. The book fair was exclusive for Scholastic Books.

New Equipment of SC Libraries

At SC Basic Education Libraries, computers were added to their KNC to accommodate more library users and enhance online searches. LCD and screen were also put-up at the Storytelling Room to aid library instruction and orientation. If Jaschik Hall is fully-booked, the Storytelling Room may accommodate class film showing.

Academic OneFile

The Library System as a ser-

vice support unit of the univer-

sity strengthens teaching-

learning and research needs of

the faculty and students. Thus,

it responds by providing conven-

ient information access to library

customers with the assistance of

technology.

An addition to the Library’s online database is the Academic Onefile. To inform library users with the new subscription and teach them how to extensively use the database, the Library through Director of Libraries and Serials Librarian organized a lec-ture demo entitled ―Academic OneFile: An Online Database Lec-ture Demo‖ administered by CE Logic Solution Specialist Brian Donato. It was held last August 2, 2011, Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. and 2:00p.m. at the Main and Talam-ban Campuses respectively.

Faculty members from the colleges of Commerce, Educa-tion, Architecture & Fine Arts, Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and School of Health Professions to-gether with their students at-tended the lecture demo. The USC Library System in its unified efforts once again made this li-brary activity successful. Our dear deans, chairs, faculty mem-bers and students deserve thanks and appreciation for responding and partnering with us in this en-deavor.

Moga, M. (2007). The worlds of human morality. Makati City : St. Pauls.

This book attempts to answer ques-

tions on morality in so many ways by exploring the many dimensions of human existence, each of which gives rise to a distinctive form of moral experience. The thesis of this book is that moral ex-perience arises from the way we live and a change in our orientation toward life will result in a change in our experi-ence of morality. If this thesis is valid, it

confronts us with a clear challenge. De Mesa, J. M. (2008). Bakas : retrieving the sense

of sacramentality in the ordinary. Manila : An-vil.

Catholicism cherishes the sacramen-

tal manner of feeling, thinking, and acting within the Christian praxis of the faith. Such sacramental attitude takes the abiding presence of God in history and culture seriously, recogniz-ing its epiphany in human life and ac-knowledging its diaphany in the world of the ordinary. In this work, Jose M. De Mesa attempts to make sense of the reality of ―sacrament‖ in the Judeo-

Christian tradition within the world feel of the Filipino culture.

Pimentel, B. (2008). Pareng Barack : Filipinos In

Obama’s America. Manila: Anvil.

This book is about Barack Obama's

incredible march to the American presidency, and how Filipinos responded--often with excitement, sometimes with fear and dread -- to his stunning campaign and victory. This is also about the Filipinos’ journey in America, how it has inter-sected, sometimes collided, with those of other communities, and how it has taken a dramatic turn as America en-ters a new era of anxiety and hope. "In the end there were more people who were ready to move on, to break

ground, to reimagine the United States, to redefine America.‖ It will be Obama's face and voice that my sons will see and hear on television and on the Inter-

net over the next four years,

maybe longer. It will be Pareng Barack who will guide the country forward...."

Poostma , A. (2002). A primer to Mangyan script.

Calapan, Mindoro : Mangyan Heritage Center.

The Mangyans of Southern Mindoro, Philippines (also referred to as Hanunoo), are still practicing a pre-Spanish writing system. They are able to retain this in-digenous writing until the present day due to their relative mountain isolation. In the course of the past decades of closer contact with Philippine society, this isolation has largely disappeared and it would be regrettable if this original

Philippine writing system that served the Mangyans so well would suddenly become extinct because of the evolvement of the young Mangyan generation by means of modern education. To keep alive an important seg-ment of the Philippine Cultural Heritage, this primer has been prepared for the practical use of Mangyan school children and for anyone interested.

Gad-El-Hak. M. (ed.) (2008). Large-scale disasters: pre-diction, control, and mitigation. Cambridge : Cam-bridge University Press.

"Extreme" events - including climatic events, such as hurricanes, torna-does, and drought - can cause mas-sive disruption to society, including large death tolls and property dam-ages in the billions of dollars. Events in recent years have shown the im-portance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to

help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This vol-ume presents a review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common frame-work for predicting, controlling and managing both man-made and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders and health-care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention or mitigation of large-scale disasters. Pradeep, T. (2008). Nano: the essentials: understanding

nanoscience and nanotechnology. New York: McGraw-Hill.

This book is designed to give a comprehensive introduc-tion to the subject, without assuming any prior knowl-edge. It begins with a historical introduction to Nano along with a brief review of various experimental tools used to understand nanoscale materials. This is followed by a discussion of selected nanomaterials, ranging from fullerenes and nanotubes to nanoshells. Subsequently several areas of application of nanoscience such as nanosensors and nanobiology are covered. The book con-cludes with an analysis of the societal implications of nanoscience and technology, particularly of relevance to developing countries.

Feldman, J. (2008). From molecule to metaphor: a neural theory of language. Cambridge, Mass. : The MIT Press.

In this book, the author, Jerome Feldman proposes a theory of language and thought that treats language not as an abstract symbol system but as a hu-man biological ability that can be studied as a function of the brain, as vision and motor control are studied. This theory, he writes, is a "bridging theory" that works from extensive knowledge at two ends of a causal chain to explicate the

links between. Although the cognitive sciences are re-vealing much about how our brains produce language and thought, we do not yet know exactly how words are un-derstood or have any methodology for finding out. Feldman develops his theory in computer simulations—formal models that suggest ways that language and thought may be realized in the brain. Combining key findings and theories from biology, computer science, linguistics, and psychology, Feldman synthesizes a theory by exhibiting programs that demonstrate the required behavior while remaining consistent with the findings from all disciplines. Coley, D. (2008). Energy and climate change: creating a

sustainable future. West Sussex, England: J. Wiley. Energy and Climate Change: Creating a Sustainable Fu-ture provides an up-to-date introduction to the subject examining the relationship between energy and our global environment. The book covers the fundamentals of the subject, discussing what energy is, why it is impor-tant, as well as the detrimental effect on the environ-ment following our use of energy. Energy is placed at the front of a discussion of geo-systems, living systems, tech-nological development and the global environment, ena-bling the reader to develop a deeper understanding of magnitudes.

Bunnin, N. and Yu, J. (2009) The Blackwell dic-tionary of Western philosophy. Oxford : Wiley-Blackwell. (103 B83)

The Blackwell Dictionary of Western Philoso-phy is a concise reference to the whole his-tory of western philosophy, from ancient Greece to the present day. The dictionary’s entries are written in a clear and direct style, which makes it easy for readers to engage with the central questions of philosophy, from epistemology to ethics, and from meta-physics to the philosophy of mathematics.

The authors pay particular attention to terms that are cru-cial to contemporary debate.

A unique feature of the dictionary is its use of a quota-

tion to conclude each entry on philosophical terms. These quotations illustrate the philosophical issues as well as serve as signposts for further study. Queries and objections are included in many of the entries to encourage readers to be active and critical in their response.
